I wish they would have done that. It would have made it obvious that the movie takes place in modern times.

Did anyone realize that MK1 and MK2 had two different directors? Paul Anderson directed the first one. He directed movies like ALIEN VS. PREDATOR, the RESIDENT EVIL SERIES, and SOLDIER (with Kurt Russel). John R. Leonetti Directed movies such as HOT SHOTS PART DEUX, SPY HARD, and was once featured on 2005's CARTOON LOGIC. Now. So all that was said in the Ultimate MKA Rant website... you wanna know why all that stuff happened? This is your answer. Shoot the directors. Blame Threshold Entertainment for pushing the product out, KNOWING full well that the movie was going to bomb. Remember folks... After MK1's successful debut, the money that was made off of the second movie was based on the HYPE. MK1 naturally HYPED us to go see the second one. We were just in for a bad suprise that would have us hating ourselves for spending our money on the feature. The third movie promises a new director, who goes by the name of Mink, who directed the Steven Segal flick "INTO THE SUN." I wonder how this is gonna turn out.... Threshold knows that they gotta redeem themselves with the public after that bullshit in 1998. Will Mink make them, or break them? That is the question asked by many.

Lui Kangs Out Fit... her wears Black shoes instead of white shoes in the game he has on white shoes....

ShangTsung Has a Trench Coat like on but in MK2 he is more Comfortable and he is wearing a HAT

Those Priest Aren't Really Shang Tsung...Dont get it too twisted...Those priests aren't really even Shao Kahn...they are Shao Kahns Fathers..... But they dont hit on any of that in Conquest nore in the Movies....

just finished reading the first novel, it is awesome!
*chan is the chosen representative of the order of light (not siang as in the comics.
*cage uses a weapon versus goro and doesn't kill him (which ashby mentioned in the starlog interview)
*scorpion doesn't teleport.
*the island is outworld but an illusion tsung creates.
*art lean has more meaningful interaction with the heroes.
*there are a number of fights going on at once.
*the different races...
*kano is arrested.
*scorpion gets involved in the demonstration
*scorpion and subzero are tsung's bodyguards (which the journey begins had)

i just really recommend the novel for anyone who loved the movie...

scary to think that after reading it, the movie could have been even better

mortal kombat was built on the fact that for the realms to be merged 10 straight victories would have to be won in mortal kombat, so how come from mk 2 it has never been a tournament as such.

The Glasgow Rangers Football Shirt will never shrink to fit inferior players.
May Scorpion Live on.

OUTWORLD -- THE BLACK TOWER/THE EMPEROR'S CASTLE -- IN THE WASTELANDS OF OUTWORLD

The Chosen One grants himself "Flawless Victory" who is now the Champion of the Tenth Great Tournament known as Mortal Kombat, and for the survival of the realm of Earth for generations to come perhaps--the present-day savior of the realm of Earth now--Liu Kang.

Liu Kang reunites with one of his decease relatives, Chan Kang, who is his brother that was killed by the very hands of the demon sorceror, Shang Tsung, in the final battle of the previous Ninth Tournament at the Temple of Light amongst the co-existing planes of the realm of Earth and Outworld combined, or so it seems, conjured up by the dark forces of Outworld it seems.

THE REALM OF EARTH -- CHINA/THE TEMPLE OF LIGHT -- CELEBRATION

Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade with former Outworld's Princess Kitana meets up with Rayden among the celebration at a Shaolin temple in the rural part of Cambodia, China--the Temple of Light.

LIU KANG
I guess you knew it would end this way.

RAYDEN
Didn't have a clue.

EARTH -- THE TEMPLE OF LIGHT -- IN THE RURAL PARTS OF CAMBODIA, CHINA -- CELEBRATION

THE EMPEROR APPEARS GIGANTICALLY TRANSPARENT-LIKE FROM LIGHTNING--WITHIN THE TEMPLE OF LIGHT--COMING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE SHRINE

The Emperor appears from a flash of lightning right before he destroys the huge shrine, hunches over slightly and says in a gigantically dark, echoing-bloodcurdling voice...

THE EMPEROR
You weak, pathetic fools.

THE EMPEROR
I've come for your souls.

Rayden shoots out a stream of electricity semitaneously from his eyes, then, the electrical streams from both of his two eyes sparkles out than moves into his eyes and blazes among in the retina inside the pupils, and he then says...

SOME OF THE SHADOW PRIESTS ARE IN MID-AIR WHILE MANY ARE STANDING ON THE GROUND FROM AFAR -- SURROUNDING RAYDEN AND THE EMPEROR BATTLING EACH OTHER

THE EMPEROR
Seize them.

The Emperor chooses Rayden as the first challenger.

The former Earth realm Warriors watches as the Emperor and Rayden battle it out.

Rayden is starting to lose his unique abilities that makes him the one and only God of Thunder and Lightning, and the Protector of the realm of Earth.

[Start of Fight Sequence]

[Middle of Fight Sequence]

[End of Fight Sequence]

Rayden weakens and gets held captive.

THE EMPEROR
Oh, look at you!

THE EMPEROR
Did you think you could defeat me!?

THE EMPEROR
Your immortality is wearing out, God of Thunder and Lightning.

THE EMPEROR
You lose.

THE EMPEROR
Give up!

The Emperor signals his dark legions to intentionally humiliate Rayden in front of his former Earth warriors, the former Lightning God's new-found companions.

THE EMPEROR
Grab him.

The Emperor looks directly at Rayden.

THE EMPEROR
You are a fool.

GENERAL BARAKA APPEARS. -- LITTLE TO NO DESCRIPTION

MILEENA APPEARS. -- LITTLE TO NO DESCRIPTION

The Emperor declares Mortal Kombat is still in effect.

The Emperor stands in a winning stance as Rayden lays exhaustly on the ground.

THE EMPEROR
Choose your destiny!

THE EMPEROR
For Mortal Kombat will continue.

THE EMPEROR
This planet is at my feet and you're friends, chosen one, will die sure enough!

THE EMPEROR
And your soul will be mine.

The Emperor says Liu Kang's own name in a grudgy manner.

THE EMPEROR
Liu Kang!

THE EMPEROR
Witness the "God" at his supreme glory that stands before the all.

THE EMPEROR
Nothing in this world can prepare you!

THE EMPEROR
Mortal Kombat continues.

The Emperor then says that Mortal Kombat shall be held in Outworld and not on the realm of Earth itself like before.

The Emperor and the many Shadow Priests with captive Rayden vanishes and disappears.

EARTH -- THE TEMPLE OF LIGHT -- THE SKIES CHANGES TO THE NORMAL, SUNNY SKY

SONYA BLADE
What does that mean?

JOHNNY CAGE
Yeah.

JOHNNY CAGE
I am not gonna fight that guy!

LIU KANG
What that means is that Mortal Kombat has really just begun.

KITANA
He is right.

KITANA
Liu.

KITANA
We need to gather more fighters for the coming Outworld Tournament.

SONYA BLADE
I'll go look for my partner back at Headquarters.

SONYA BLADE
Lets meet up at the dock, okay?

JOHNNY CAGE NODS AS DOES LIU KANG.

SONYA BLADE
Maybe he can help us along.

SONYA BLADE
I am gonna go get him.

Sonya Blade, still in the long Shadow Priest rob, goes in search for "Major Briggs" back at Headquarters -- who is jaxx.

JOHNNY CAGE
I will help you, Liu, to get together others.

KITANA
I will stay here for now to prepare for the Outworld Tournament.

JOHNNY CAGE
Come on.

JOHNNY CAGE
Liu, come on!

JOHNNY CAGE
We don't have that much time left.

LIU KANG
Wait.

LIU KANG
First, I have to see someone.

LIU KANG
My grandfather.

JOHNNY CAGE
Okay.

Johnny Cage
Alright.

JOHNNY CAGE
So, where is he?

LIU KANG AND JOHNNY CAGE GATHER FIGHTERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE TO COMPETE IN MORTAL KOMBAT

PRINCESS KITANA STAYS AT THE TEMPLE OF LIGHT, FOR IT IS HER NEW HOMELAND

The invitations have been spread across the world as it appears that people by the millions are waiting for the transport to the huge once-in-a-lifetime Tournament -- the extended Mortal Kombat.

The very old and ancient main dragon boat appears with many little dragon boats in follow.

Princess Kitana shows up as she appears coming from a smaller dragon boat and onto the huge old, ancient wood-made-dragon-etch warship.

Sonya and Jaxx meets up with Princess Kitana, Johnny Cage and Liu Kang on the global tour to Outworld.

RAYDEN COMES ONTO THE BOAT BY TELEPORTATION FROM ELSEWHERE

RAYDEN
There you guys are!

RAYDEN
Sorry for my lack of punctuality.

RAYDEN
Everyone listen.

RAYDEN
Know this.

RAYDEN
What all of you experienced in the Tournament does not compare to what you will be facing in Outworld.

RAYDEN
This time, you will not be facing Shang Tsung's demon warriors, you will definitely be up against the Emperor's dark legions, warriors far more superior than the ones you have battled before.

RAYDEN
The steaks are higher this time.

RAYDEN
The world will depend upon your successes.

RAYDEN
But I have some bad news for all of you.

RAYDEN'S EYES START TO EMULATE AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT AMONG THE RETINA ONLY FOR A BRIEF SECOND

RAYDEN
For I'm afraid, one of you will die.

RAYDEN
Good luck!

RAYDEN TELEPORTS AWAY IN A HAZE OF RED AND WHITE AND ORANGE STREAM OF THUNDERING LIGHT

JOHNNY CAGE
When we thought it was over, some barbarian-looking guy stops the party, and now this!

JOHNNY CAGE
I can't believe it!

JOHNNY CAGE
I'm freaking out.

SONYA BLADE
Come down, Johnny.

SONYA BLADE
Everything is going to be alright.

LIU KANG
Yeah.

LIU KANG
We still need to stay strong.

LIU KANG
Or else we fail, for there will be no hope left.

JOHNNY CAGE
No one's doing to die!?

JOHNNY CAGE
I'll be alright.

JOHNNY CAGE
Just give me a moment alone.

JOHNNY CAGE HAS A MOMENT WITH HIS OWN CONSCIOUS

JOHNNY CAGE
It was a big mistake coming here.

ALL OF THE PEOPLE GO INTO THE PORTAL TO OUTWORLD THAT IS OPENED BY KITANA HERSELF.

THE BOATS STOP AT AN UNKNOWN LOCATION KNOWN ONLY AS OUTWORLD THROUGH THE DIMENTIONAL GATE ON THE ISLAND WHERE MORTAL KOMBAT HAS TAKEN PLACE ON

THE BEACH IS BELOW AND IS CONNECTION TO A HUGE CASTLE AND DARK FORTRESS KNOWN ONLY AS THE FORTRESS OF THE SKULLS, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE SKY CASTLE

ONCE LIU KANG, JOHNNY CAGE AND PRINCESS KITANA GOES INTO THE HUGE AND DARK CASTLE, THEY NOTICE THAT THERE ARE MANY ANCIENT-LOOKING STATUES SIMILAR TO THE ONES ON THE ISLAND WHERE THE SORCEROR HOSTED MORTAL KOMBAT

THE INTRODUCTION IS HOSTED BY THE EMPEROR HIMSELF

THE EMPEROR
You are witnessing a turning point in both our histories.

THE EMPEROR
Some of you will have the distinct pleasure of facing the Great King Kintaro, our reigning Outworld Champion.

THE EMPEROR
Come prepared for tomorrow, for the Great Tournament continues.

THE EMPEROR
And now, for a taste of things to come.

The Emperor hand signals a yellow suited ninja.

Yellow suited ninja vs. Opponent.

[Start of Fight Sequence]

[End of Fight Sequence]

THE EMPEROR
Flawless victory!

The Emperor walks out of the dinning hall seemlessly along with his dominions.

FOOD AND DRINKS ARE SUPPLIED BY THE EMPEROR

ALL CONTESTANTS ARE WELCOME TO THE MANY FESTIVITIES

DEMONSTRATIONS SHOWS GIVE AN INSIGHT OF HOW SKILLED THESE "SPECIAL" WARRIORS ARE AND WHAT "THE GUESTS" ARE GOING TO FACE IN THE COMING DAYS -- LIU KANG, JAXX, SONYA BLADE, AND JOHNNY CAGE, AND PRINCESS KITANA WATCHES STEADILY TOGETHER

THE CONTESTANTS ARE IN AWE AND MANY WHO ARE TERRIFIED

THE OUTWORLD TOURNAMENT BEGINS THE FOLLOWING DAY

LIU KANG, JAXX, SONYA BLADE, KITANA AND JOHNNY CAGE WATCHES AS THEIR FIGHTING COMPANIONS GET PICKED OFF ONE BY ONE BY THE OUTWORLDERS WHOM ARE JUST TERRIFYING -- SCORPION, THE TWO REPTILES, THE TWO SUB-ZEROS, GENERAL BARAKA, MILEENA. -- NO DESCRIPTION

The Next Day

An opponent (Jaxx) VS. Opponent (monk). -- LITTLE TO NO DESCRIPTION

THE EMPEROR
Fight!

SONYA BLADE
Go Jaxx!

SONYA BLADE
Hit him.

SONYA BLADE
Hit him!

AUDIENCE
Yeah!

[Start of Fight Sequence]

[End of Fight Sequence]

The Emperor gets up off his royal throne and stands up.

THE EMPEROR
Finish him!

A BYSTANDER
Yeah, finish him!

AUDIENCE
Finish him.

AUDIENCE
Finish him!

Because Major Briggs is unfamiliar with the process of the Tournament, he is a bit confused as to what to do as the audience yell from outside the fighting ring.

In the heat of the moment, Jaxx does a finishing move in the form of a turning kick hard enough as to cause some major damage to the other opponent.

The opponent goes staggering off and falls down onto the ground, the opponent is barely conscious to still breathe.

THE EMPEROR
Your soul is mine!

The audience takes a few steps back from the Emperor.

After Jaxx has won the match, the soul comes out of the dying opponent and goes right into the palm of the ruler of Outworld, the Emperor himself.

The barely conscious opponent on the gound starts to yell very loudly as the Emperor reaches his arm out over the exhaustedly weak opponent to steal his soul.

The Emperor says in a stern but giddy, self-amusing manner.

THE EMPEROR
Fatality.

Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, former Princess Kitana, and Jaxx watches as the first opponent lays dead before them.

Jaxx watches in awe and in a state of shock.

Jaxx takes a step back.

JAXX
My God!

Kung Lao vs. Opponent vs. Opponent. -- NO DESCRIPTION

[Start of Fight Sequence]

[End of Fight Sequence]

The audience are stunned by this skilled fighter as they watch him walk off.

Liu Kang goes up to Kung Lao and introduces himself.

Kung Lao ignores Liu Kang and walks away.

Sonya Blade VS. Mileena as well as another opponent. -- NO DESCRIPTION

sorry I dont have a pic but After Scorpion yells "Come Here!" and Cage is panting it will cut to some trees for a few seconds. look in between the middle and the far left of the screen where you can barely see the grass end and you see a car passing through behind the trees.

also at the beginning of the scene where they both get into the fighting stance aren't there mirrors behind cage?

First of all, this has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread. So all this is doing is dominating this page. Second, you can easily update your thread w/ the more current information by clicking edit. And posting this in subzeroboy94's thread as well was pretty much unnecessary for the above reasons.

Please use the thread you created to discuss your story idea and refrain from posting this long concept in other threads that have their own individual concept.

"Tis true my form is something odd, But blaming me is blaming God. Could I create myself anew, I would not fail in pleasing you. If I could reach from pole to pole, Or grasp the ocean with a span, I would be measured by the soul, The mind's the standard of the man."

The "Cobalt Mines of Shokan", which is where Shang Tsung was banished to in MK: Conquest, were first mentioned in MK: The Journey Begins. They had never been mentioned at all in the games, until the MK4 comic (Sindel banished Reptile there for committing genocide).

After the last episode of MK Conquest, the Elder Gods resurrected all the main characters who were killed off in the series finale, citing that Shao Kahn has broken all the rules so they reversed his actions.

This sets it up so that Shang Tsung meets Goro in the Cobalt Mines of Shokan, thus leading to Goro defeating Kung Lao in Mortal Kombat.

After Kung Lao's defeat at the hands of Goro, Raiden approached Sub-Zero about becoming Earth's next champion. Sub-Zero declined the offer.

That's interesting, I always thought the Cobalt mines were mentioned earlier, in a comic book or something, when Shao Kahn and Gorbak were deciding what to do with Shang Tsung after Goro's disappearance. (I thought it was in the official MK2 comic, the scene of Shang Tsung begging that is also shown in the MK2 intro) Good stuff.

Token Wrote:Goro kind of does his grab where he holds you with his bottom arms and hits you with the top ones.

He grabs Art Lean's hands and them pummels his head.

Well spotted, I'll add that to the list when I get a chance.

- Jax, Kitana and Shao Kahn never used any of their special moves from the games

I'd just like to point out that Jax DOES use a special movie in MK Anilation.

When he is fighting Motaro he uses his ground pound.

Ah, I was talking about the first movie. In MKA Jax does use his ground pound, but Kitana also uses her fans, and Shao Kahn does both his shoulder charge and fireball. In the first film, none of the three uses an in-game move (though if you look below, Shao Kahn does utter some of his MK2 phrases.)

I also updated very slightly, with info that Shao Kahn uses two of his MK2 game taunts when he appears at the end of the first movie ("Bow to me" and "You weak, pathetic fool(s)"
